Answer:

66.67% probability that all selected components function properly

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

The order in which the components are chosen is not important. So we use the combinations formula to solve this question.

Combinations formula:

C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

In this question:

Desired outcomes:

2 components which function properly, from a set of 5. So

D = C_{5,2} = \frac{5!}{2!(5-2)!} = 10

Total outcomes:

2 components, from a set of 6. So

T = C_{6,2} = \frac{6!}{2!(6-2)!} = 15

Probability:

p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{10}{15} = 0.6667

66.67% probability that all selected components function properly

Vocabulary Drag the words to show how theoretical probability and experimental probability differ. Each word may be used only on
allsm [11]

Answer:

Theoretical  --- probability is based on expected or calculated results.

Experimental  --- probability is based on the actual recorded results of an  experiment.

Step-by-step explanation:

Theoretical assumptions are those hypotheses not proven to be real, whose probabilities of materializing depend on the future confirmation of the premises established. Thus, these theories are established based on different experiences and previous situations, or based on data still not scientifically proven.

Instead, the experimental results are those that have already been confirmed based on tests, tests and experiments that affirm or deny the previously established theories.
